I'd like to be able to capture video of me playing games on my PS3, especially when earning difficult trophies, or getting past tricky levels so I can share my techniques/tricks with others.
Obviously, I could just point a camera at the screen, but the quality of the capture is extremely poor and would take up physical space in the area where I normally sit to play.
What's the best way to capture that so I can post it to YouTube, Vimeo, etc?
Can I use Mac OS X? Windows? What hardware do I need? Software?

I'm not certain whether Sony activates HDCP on their HDMI during gameplay. There are HDMI capture cards, but HDCP would throw a brick in your ability to capture HDMI. A much more sure way to capture HD would be to use a component cable and a Hauppauge HDPVR hooked to your PC.
